Gruden to the podium after a relatively short practice. He says Trent Williams had successful surgery. Could practice as soon as Thursday. Likely will be out Wednesday, which is kinda a bonus day with MNF.

Preparing for New Orleans:
Gruden says focus this week is “getting mentally and physically prepared for New Orleans”
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) October 1, 2018
Drew Brees:
Gruden says playing Monday Night Football in New Orleans against Drew Brees “should not have any problems whatsoever motivating”

Paul Richardson:
Gruden says Redskins will continue to monitor Paul Richardson’s shoulder and give him time as he needs it

Monday Night Football week:
Gruden says the bonus day will let them do two things this week:
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) October 1, 2018
1) shorten practice a little bit to break it up
2) get extra situational work in.
The two minute stuff killed them last year against New Orleans. Have to make sure they are on top of it this year.
Injury updates:
No official injury report until Thursday. So updated will be vague until then

Gruden says they’re taking things on a daily basis with Peterson (ankle) and Norman (hamstring). Will know more Wednesday. #redskins
